Night of the Precedent...

(A Tale of Woe)

A Final Fantasy XI Story...

"Through my eyes, you could not see...

Yet you stand by me...

And let the world pass by...

But I could not...

Your warm smile...

That summer breeze...

As we stood there...

We would never know...

That our paths would be spilt...

And our worlds...

Slipping from each other...

...Please come back..."

Prologue: Fall of Stone Walls

The smoke and flame bellowed...

Cries beyond the walls...

The blades clashed.

Death's hand grasping all...

Elvaan, Mithra, Galkas, Taru & Humes...

Raged against the foul beasts that bore before them.

Words of magic spells echoed...

Arrows swished by...

Monster screams...

The old and young, ran...

As the strong fought...

They broke through...

Chasing...

Killing...

Leaving none alive...

Down into the burrow of tunnels...

Fleeing the place...

All failed...

Only few survived...

The flags of the nations...

Turned into ash...

Drifting off...

Into the soloing winds...
